roan whomz'tmmy concern:

Be it known that-l, JOHANNES HARTSTRA, a subject of Holland, and declarant to become a citizen of the United States, residin at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent an State'ot Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Weather Strips, of which the'following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in Weather strips and the principal object of the invention is to provide means for pre-. venting the entrance of water .at the bottom of the inwardly swinging sash.

Another object of the invention is to provide means for draining the water caught by the strip therefromt Hitherto it has been impossible to prevent inwardly swinging casement sashes from leaking at the sill and for this reason this style of window has not met with favor in spite of its many advantages over the vertically movable sash. It is the purpose oi my invention toprovide metal strips for these windows which will catch any water passing through them and which are provided with means for draining the water on to the outer part of the sill.

The invention alsoconsists in certain other features of construction and in "the combination and arrangement or" the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed. out in the appended-claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had'to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts. throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a sectional perspective through a window supplied with my invention and showing a sash swung open.

Figure '2 is a vertical sash closed. v

Figure 3 is a sectional perspective with the window closed.

. Figure 4 is a plan view of the bottom strip.

In these views 1 indicates the window frame, 2 the outside'sill and 3 the inside sill. The sash 4 is hinged to the frame, as shown, so that it will swing inwardly. The bottom of the sash is recessed at its outer edge to receive a part of the upper section 50f the device. This section is of substantially angular-shape with'one part screwed to the outer face of the sash and the other section with the rearof the-'openingslQ- fordirecting the part screwed to the upper wall of the recess. The vertical part is formed with the I projection 6 which has a long inclined upper face, ashort sllghtly curved lower face'and with the outer-edges of the two faces con nected together by a vertical-- part. The water will. run down the upper faceof the projection and will drop oil? the ridge formed by the junction of the vertical part. with the curved un'der face. The horizontal part of the section, which lies within the re-v louter face of which is flat.

cessed part of the sash, is provided with a1 substantially wedge shaped -projection' 7 the-' Theother section 8 of the device is seated upon a plate 9'.which rests on the sill 2.

This section 8 is of hollow construction, I and 1S provided with a pair of upwardly extending ribs 9' which are spaced apart to 'form a trough 10. The inner ribis of less height than the outer rib. and this inner rib is'providecl with a vertical inner face against which the extreme lower edge of. the 7 sash abuts when the sash is closed. The upper ea that any water dropping to said trough will drain into the section. The lower outer lugs 12 through which the water may flow from the section onto'the outer sill 2. The section 8 and plate '9' are secured to the sill by the screws 1.3 which pass through both the. sections and the plate, as shown. The

plate 9 is formed with-wedge-shaped projections 14'which ex'tend across the same in water flowing from the trough to said openthe rounded outer face'ofthe section 8 and from this section'it will flow on to the sill.

If the wind is blowing some of the'water dripping ofi the projection 6 maybe forced by the wind between the upper end of the outer rib 9 and the projection 7. In this case the-water will drip from the lower end of '6 and will drip from the projection on to" the-projection 7 into the trough and will 8% end of the outer rib is provided with an ofiset part having a flat inner face against W edge of said section, is provided with open- 7 pass tromthetrough into-the section 8 and will' ass from the section 8 through the openings 1].. Un account of the length of the projection 7 and the space between its lower end and the trough 10 water will tend to drip from the projection 7 into the trough 10 and will drain from the trough 10 through the opening ll,- and in consequence theliability of water finding its way to the inner sill 3- will be lessened. 'lhis device will also act to-prevent the wind'from'pass ing underthe bottom of the sash.

lit is thought from the foregoing descripiv tion that the advantages and novel features of mg; invention will be readily apparent. ll esire it to be understood that it may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall Within the scope of the appended claims.

What ll claim is l. A device of the class described comprising an upper section adaptedto be afiix'ed to the outer face of a swinging sash and having a pendent water deflecting protection thereon and also having a lower pen ent of .a rabbet at the lower edge ot the sash theater:

and the other engage orabut against the flat face of said lower'and rear projection.

and a trou h between said ribs, said trough havin drain holes therein.

2. eather excluding means for use in connection with a swinging sash and the outer and inner sills of a window frame, said means comprising a, member adapted to be applied to the outer face of a sashat the lower rabbetted end thereof, and a second member adapted to be superimposed upon and firedv to the upper side of the outer sill, the first-named member being provided with a projection pendent from the upper wall of the rabbet and with a projection disposed in front of the outer face of the sash and the second named member being provided with an upwardly extending projection to be opposed to the upright wall of the rabbet, and a second-projection extending above and spaced from the first-named projection to abut against the face of the first named projection of the first-named member, the two projections of the secondnamed member forming between them a trough having drain openings into the second-named member and the second-named meiiiber further havingopenings in its outer wal a s In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
